Check out the latest “funny” from The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon as he interviews Helen Mirren while on Helium. It’s super fun!

Warning…some slight language, watch with headphones if you are still at work or around little ears.

I have fallen into some serious temptation this morning. All thanks to Jeff Niewedde.

Here’s what happened…

As some of you may know, the last few years I ran a few half marathons. 2 of them were the Mill Race Half Marathons, and last year I added the Indy Mini to the mix.

My favorite part of running these races? The finisher’s medal.

After the inaugural Mill Race Half- 2013

True, you have to run at least 13.1 miles to get the medal (depending on the race)… but that medal represents finishing a goal, no matter how fast or slow you ran it! I’d take that type of athletic competition any day over trying to compete against someone else.

So now to present day…I haven’t ran a single mile since the Mill Race Half last year. (I finished, but didn’t feel so hot afterwards.) I’ve thought about a few races here and there, but nothing over 10 miles.

And then Jeff came in this morning to talk about the Seymour Half Marathon…toting this.

You guys…it’s beautiful.

It’s everything you want in a Finisher’s medal…good solid weight, silky ribbon that will feel nice around the neck after running 13.1 miles…and the best part! It’s a BOTTLE OPENER! For that victory Coca Cola you will drink after the race!

So yes…this is my temptation. I am debating on whether or not I should sign up for the half. And now the medal is on display next to my desk taunting me.

“you know you want to wear me…”

“but you have to earn me…”

“sign up so you CAN wear me…”

This will be my life until May 16th.

And this is the part where I turn it over to you!

If you are interested in running the Seymour Half, and want to check out the medal…swing by our studios and you can see the medal on display! And then pick up a registration form…OR- just go ahead and sign up online at seymourhalf.com.

There is also a 5k run/walk and a mile dog walk the same morning too…you can find those details at the website too.

The CEOs of nine of Indiana’s biggest and most influential employers have delivered a letter to Statehouse leaders voicing their concern for the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. They say it is critical that it is made clear that Indiana is a welcoming state for all and that immediate action should be taken.

A Columbus man was arrested Saturday afternoon for auto theft and several drug-related offenses after he was stopped for failing to use his turn signal. Columbus officers stopped Nathan F. Ingram, 25, in the 1700 block of McKinley Avenue at approximately 5:30 p.m. Methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia were located, and police discovered that the vehicle had been stolen. Ingram was transported to the Bartholomew County Jail.

The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office says that a 63-year-old Whiteland woman has been scammed out of $50,000 to $80,000 since May 2014. The woman was sending money to a man known as Gary, with the only contact being an email and always told to mail the money to an address in Maryland. The woman was told the man was in love with her and needed the money to be able to eventually travel to meet her in person. The sheriff’s office hopes the release of the information will help others avoid becoming victims of fraud.

An Indianapolis man ended up in the Shelby County Jail after leading police on a high-speed chase Saturday. An officer originally tried to pull the vehicle over for driving erratically, but Daniel Patrick Higgs, 30, sped up, topping 120 mph. Eventually Higgs’ vehicle struck a utility pole. Once officers were able to approach the vehicle, Higgs began telling officers that he was hurt and could not get out of the car. He told police he was trying to get himself to the hospital and that is why he was running.

The Bartholomew Republican Ladies League is sponsoring a candidate forum tonight from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at Donner Center, 739 22nd St. League members will ask questions of Republican candidates after introductions, but the presentation will not follow a debate format.

http://qmix.com/terrible-texting/#commentsTue, 31 Mar 2015 00:01:36 +0000http://qmix.com/?p=18469Do you find yourself accidentally sending texts to the wrong people all the time with hilarious results?
Here are five results from a new survey that show you’re not alone…

1. 70% of people regularly send messages to the wrong person, and 40% have received a text that was meant for someone else.

2. 33% have gotten into a major fight with someone after they sent them a text that was intended for someone else…and 10% are still not speaking with that person.

3. 33% have sent a text that was mangled by autocorrect (can’t believe this isn’t higher).

4. About one in ten have sent a text of an ‘adult’ nature to the wrong person. The most common people we’ve accidentally sent them to are coworkers… followed by our mother, boss, sister, and father.

5. And finally, 10% of those people say they lost their job for accidentally sending something filthy to their boss.
